The Government should encourage more Research & innovation at grass root level in Institutes & engineering colleges. Ours mentality is to rely solely on the innovations & products of the other countries. (11/n)
The sole problem is that innovation takes years & patience to achieve it & huge investments & no one is bothered to take risk for it . Encouragement to excel in it is very less in our country as compared to others. (12/n)
There are certainly world class institutes in our country which encourage R & D. These institutes are(13/n)
1⃣IIT Delhi
2⃣IIT Mumbai
3⃣IISC Bangalore.
But the no of such Institutes should be more to harness the talented minds of our country. The idea of innovation should be cultivated too from the school level, so that in the future too we see the results of it. (14/n)
The Government should bring out more policies which encourage innovation & spend more in this field. The young engineers & scientists of our country needs more support & encouragement so that they can excel in the field of innovation & Bharat becomes #AtmaNirbharBharat. (15/n)
Bharat should again try to be the leader in innovation & technology which once it was in the History & proves it's mettle to the entire world. (16/n)
